“There are no more taboos to break” (c) the art world

Oh really? Visual art, writing and music may think they’re free but today they’re even more hemmed in than ever. “They won’t buy that.” “This is what Beatport wants.” “That’s not minimal.” Spoken or unspoken, restrictions exist and music is poorer for them.

Where does that leave producers like dub KULT? A UK act with a European sensibility. Half Indian, half English, grew up in Zimbabwe. A perfectionist who loves messy experimentation. A raving minimalist; an old-school music geek; promoter, DJ, live act and VJ these days all at the same time.

The music is not house or techno. According to dub, it’s “party music for the mind”. dub KULT’s records and own label, Living, get props from everyone from Bug to Villalobos to Weatherall to Vath.
